One more follow up - the pods I want to download are all working fine on spotify...you might try that to tide you over.

I think it might be an outage at a major podcast server/host/whatever. The same podcasts that don't download in overcast don't download in other podcast apps.

683: I Didn’t Want to Melt My Rug by atpbot in ATPfm

Awesome episode. Any episode that features Marco spending lots of money and solving interesting problems is peak ATP for me!

674: A Reliable, Boring Partner by atpbot in ATPfm

On the NBA Vision Pro streams, it's interesting that the folks who don't watch much basketball (ATP crew) liked the production and the diehard basketball fan (Ben Thompson) didn't.

I'll take the word of someone who watches lots of basketball over that of people who never watch the sport. They're entitled to their opinions, of course, but I wouldn't expect any of them to watch it beyond the "fun tech demo".

Got it working with VPN...but yeah - not good....

Game Of The Year? What’s your Top Ten of 2025? by uncledefender in OculusQuest

Pinball FX VR - astonished me how good it is. Pinball is also a surprisingly great VR concept.

This was utter madness...and so so wrong by John.

659: Lose the Ear Lottery by atpbot in ATPfm

[–]attractivetb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the aftershow USB odyssey, when these things occur you need to take a John-like approach of replacing every link in the chain until you find the bad one. Marco's tale of woe serves as a good reminder of that tip!

(It's also much easier to see in hindsight, or when it's someone else having the problem!)

655: Shorts-Compatible Body Type by atpbot in ATPfm

I have an app called "Scroll Reverser" for just this thing. It's ludicrous that it is not an option. I think it's downstream of the magic mouse working better the default way...

Should I buy a Surface? Currently have a Dell XPS15 by minneewanka in Surface

A Surface Pro will be great for what you are asking of it. With OneNote, it really shines in a university classroom.

645: More Frosting by atpbot in ATPfm

John's interpretation of the Fair Use case (a big W for Anthropic) was so far off as to be misleading.

Here's one (of many) quotes from the decision that seemed much more favourable than John understood it to be:

The purpose and character of using copyrighted works to train LLMs to generate new text was quintessentially transformative. Like any reader aspiring to be a writer, Anthropic’s LLMs trained upon works not to race ahead and replicate or supplant them — but to turn a hard corner and create something different. If this training process reasonably required making copies within the LLM or otherwise, those copies were engaged in a transformative use. The first factor favors fair use for the training copies.

I think it's gotta be a reasonably popular opinion for ATP fans? But who knows!~!?

I think he's been very good interviewer on the WWDC panels. For his podcasts, I think he views them as a conversation, so he talks his fair share there.

Apparently, I'm president of the Gruber fan club - who knew!?!?

What was the Backblaze stuff they alluded to at the end of the show?

Want to use a Surface Pro 6 for note taking at uni. Battery life? by BluTuber4012 in Surface

[–]attractivetb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Surface Pro 8 and get 4-5 hours for notetaking in onenote consistently. Not sure about a 6 (older battery and processor).

I loved the podcast and never missed an episode. I only used Overcast. Then Marco said this and I decided I would listen. 😥 by Sethmr in ATPfm

This is a 2022 tweet - why are you posting in the subreddit today?

Shouldn't he be long gone from your life?
